To the Chavez family. Im so sorry for the loss of your loved one. I would like to share a comforting thought from the bible. John 5:28" Do not be amazed at this, for for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." For more information on this go to JW.org. Yours truly Charlie.

Dear Chavez Family,

I am so terribly sorry for your great loss of Matthew, my deepest sympathies. It is extremely difficult to cope with the pain of such a loss. It seems very unnatural to lose loved ones the way we do. Something that has personally helped me cope with the loss of a loved one is Psalm 34:17, 18 and Isaiah 25:8. Knowing God is near to those broken at heart, he has a purpose in play to swallow up death forever, that he holds them in his memory and will resurrect our loved ones helps me greatly. Whenever overwhelmed with grief I reflected on these verses and found great comfort, may they bring you comfort too. May you, also, in time find comfort in your loved ones memories, and strength in the companionship of the life you shared together!

With heartfelt condolences,

Munro Family
